I'd prefer Release Notes being displayed before installation, not afterwards: It's like the RPM for some database having packed a file README saying you'll have to back-up your database before installing that RPM...
That's an good option also. But now there is something in it from Pango/Firefox and users forget that note if they see it before all the installation-information. maybe it can be splitted in Read before and read-after. If nit, then it is indeed better to place it at top.
So, you guys are actually starting an installation of some software _without_ looking at the release notes on the installation medium _before_? I'd say the solution is pretty easy, the file RELEASE-NOTES.en.txt is available in the "docu" directory, you should make use of it.
So you guy are somebody that only think about geeks instead of home-desktop-users? I'd say the solution is to give everybody a PC-training so they will lean to be as the Linux-geeks...then they will read the releasenoted before installation. As long we don't have a training for home-users like that they will probably never see the releasenoted before the installation-proces. Beers, Azerion
